Yamaha RX100 returns in 2025: Iconic retro looks, modern engine and that glorious roar!
The legend is reborn! The iconic Yamaha RX100 is set to return in 2025, blending classic retro charm with a touch of modern engineering. A bike that once ruled the Indian roads with its sheer power and aggressive sound is back to steal the limelight once again – this time in a more refined, eco-friendly package. Whether you grew up idolising the RX100 or are seeing it for the first time, this new version brings back all the features that made it special, and is now ready for today’s roads.
Classic RX100 design that turns heads
Yamaha hasn’t tampered with its magic. The 2025 RX100 proudly carries forward the iconic styling of the original design – the round headlamp, flat cushioned seat and gleaming chrome fenders. New retro-inspired paint schemes, hand-drawn pinstripes and polished metal parts give the motorcycle a vintage look with a fresh twist.
New engine, same power
The 2025 RX100 features a modern, fuel-injected 4-stroke engine instead of the old-school 2-stroke engine that is tuned to deliver the same aggressive power in the low and mid-range. Despite complying with the current emission norms, Yamaha has retained the original performance feel that RX enthusiasts crave.
That iconic exhaust sound is back
Yes, Yamaha knows what makes the RX100 memorable – that raspy, mesmerizing exhaust sound. Engineers have spent hours perfecting the exhaust acoustics to recreate the RX100’s distinctive sound. Twist the throttle, and you are instantly back in the 1990s.
Lightweight frame for everyday fun
The RX100 has always been known for its agility, and the 2025 edition keeps that spirit alive. Thanks to its lightweight chassis and refined suspension setup, the bike sprints through city traffic and negotiates tight turns with ease. The ride is comfortable as well as fun – ideal for both city commutes and weekend rides.
Retro dashboard with minimalist touches
Keeping things authentic, Yamaha has used a simple analogue speedometer and old-fashioned toggle switches. There are no flashy digital screens here – just a clean, minimalist dashboard that stays true to the RX100’s roots and gives riders everything they need.
Affordable price for a piece of history
Expected to be priced around ₹1.25 lakh (ex-showroom), the new RX100 is more than just a motorcycle – it’s a statement. It’s a gift from Yamaha to a new generation of riders who want performance, style and emotion in one affordable package.
Final Thoughts: An old dream with a modern soul
The Yamaha RX100 in 2025 will be more than just a bike – it will revive a memory. With its unrivalled design, distinctive exhaust sound and everyday usability, this reborn legend is set to win hearts again. If you’ve ever dreamt of owning an RX100, now’s your chance – and it’s better than ever.
